Looking for a giant hot dog

Submitted by lc3009 t3_yhvuse in Connecticut

I'm from Nj, but when I was really young I had this hot dog in Ct on my way home from Boston and it was sent from the heavens, but I don't know the restaurant or even the city. I remember it was in a cute little town/city and it was, for lack of a better term, the girthiest hot dog. Like I had to fully, for lack of a better word, gape my mouth just to barely fit it in. I've been dying to find the hot dog again ever since. I also believe I remember having shark nuggets there but I could be completely wrong about that.

I doubt this is enough information but maybe it rings a bell to someone and the place would make sense on a drive from Boston to Jersey.

No, it wasn't particularly long, just wide. It was a chode dog.

“Hummel big bite” is a locally produced dog that is how you describe. Available at good butchers around the state.

The best! But I don't think its what they are looking for, SDW cooks standard size hot dogs.

There's a boarded up place in New Britain that may have been it? Never seen it open though; it's not too far off the highways there.

That might be Riley’s just out of downtown NB

There used to be a place in Cheshire off of 84 that had long dogs, too. I believe it's called Blackie's. My Dad loved that place back in the day.

Blackie's makes a great dog, but if you're looking for something that your mouth needs to gape around, you're better off going to the Costco food court just down the road.

Has to be right off either 84 or 95, most likely 95.
